Question

Using data from the following table, calculate the return for investing in this stock from January 1 to December 31. Prices are after the dividend has been paid. Complete the steps below using cell references to given data or previous calculations. In some cases, a simple cell reference is all you need. To copy/paste a formula across a row or down a column, an absolute cell reference or a mixed cell reference may be preferred. If a specific Excel function is to be used, the directions will specify the use of that function. Do not type in numerical data into a cell or function. Instead, make a reference to the cell in which the data is found. Make your computations only in the blue cells highlighted below. In all cases, unless otherwise directed, use the earliest appearance of the data in your formulas, usually the Given Data section. Stock and Dividend Data Date Price Dividend Jan-1 $ 33.88 Feb-5 $ 30.67 $ 0.17 May-14 29.49 $ 0.17 Aug-13 $ 32.38 $ 0.17 Nov-12 $ 39.07 $ 0.17 Dec-31 $ 41.99 $0.00 Cumulative Return Return Date Jan-1 Feb-5 May-14 Aug-13 Nov-12 Dec-31
